Losekamp Lake in Park County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Out in Park County, Wyoming, sits Losekamp Lake. It sits in pine and birch. At 20 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

Within a short run: Stockade Lake a shade over 0.8 miles, Daphnia Lake 0.9 miles away, Black Stone Lake a shade over 1.1 miles, Gardner Lake 1.5 miles away and Solar Lake a shade over 1.6 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Losekamp Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Park County include brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Losekamp Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put August at about 49°F and January near 15°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early June. Climate figures give an open season running early June to early November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. At Losekamp Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Stockade Lake is 0.8 miles distant. Rules at Losekamp Lake are worth checking on the day.
